the State Department reprimand of her and will accuse the Obama administration of giving her a free pass, saying there is no justice when democrats are in power.
More wood for the GOP bonfire.

Which may be a key to his undoing......

(2,064 posts)even if the FBI doesn't recommend an indictment. Trump will just accuse the President of covering up her wrongdoing. Not sure how much of a difference it will make, but it's not hard to see what's coming. And you will hear it ad nauseum over the next 5 months.

(1,701 posts)The people who hate Hillary already won't be influenced by this, and short of an indictment, I don't see her supporters abandoning her. That leaves Bernie supporters, who already are having a hard time (at least I am) resigning ourselves to voting for her in the GE. I doubt that this will tip the scales as far as Bernie supporters are concerned. As for other uncommitted Independent voters, well, if they are willing to vote for Trump, what can anyone do?
I felt more optimistic when I thought that many of his supporters were just ill-informed people who are angry at the economic inequalities in this country and were looking for easy answers and scapegoats. I thought that there was a possibility of reaching them. After reading that new Pew survey, I don't think that is likely; if they are motivated by racism and nativism, rational arguments won't sway them.
